Perfect family apartment
Stayed for a weeks family skiing in February. Apartment is well situated for the Bellevue lift and access to the village / shops / ski bus to Chamonix. Comfortable and clean apartment with a good amount of space for relaxing after skiing. Particularly nice shower and plenty of hot water (sometimes an issue with two kids!). Really enjoyed our stay!

Nice and clean apartment
The apartment is a bit small, but very nice and very clean. We had a great time and would come back. There is a huge DVD collection, which the kids enjoyed a lot. The kitchen is fully equipped and we didn’t miss anything.

Very cosy appartment. Full equipements
Confortable, very clean at arrival, Bed sheets are included as Hotel room. Fresh air & calm allow to sleep in peace in summer. Chamonix is a spectacular place with multipasses. You can rent with trust. Simon & paula have been more professionnal than some Hotels.

Comfortable ski apartment
Went for a weeks skiing at Les Houches in February. Apartment was just what we needed - comfortable beds, good showers and a relaxing lounge area. There was a library of DVDs (kids and adults) available that were a godsend after a long day skiing. Kitchen was well equipped. The position is near to the Bellevue lift and it’s rental shops but note that the ski school meet just over a 5 minute walk away at the Prarion lift. If you are using the ski school, it is well worth renting a locker at the Prarion lift so you can walk in regular shoes - it would be a tough walk with kids in ski boots. Communication before and during our stay was excellent. And although we didn’t have any problems during our stay, I was confident they would have been dealt with quickly. Great apartment, many thanks!

Great location for the slopes
We know Les Houches well and were looking for somewhere close to the Bellevue lift, this was perfect at about 100m! Also close to our favourite pub the Kitsch inn. Apartment was perfect for 4. We were 5 and while the sofa bed was a good size it was a bit of a squash for eating etc.

very confortable , like at home - Com a casa
confortable rooms, There's everything you need. very clean. Is perfect --- in catalan -- : Apart-hotel molt confortable, dues habitacions complertes, armaris, banys, molt net, cuina equipada amb rentaplats i tot, tv, internet... Varem estar 8 dies i varem estar molt be. Hi ha una sortida exterior on es pot estar just a continuació de la sala d estar. Tenen una TV grossa , amb connexió a internet i un munt de pelicules en DVD ( en anglès això si) que podràs mirar. M he guardat les dades per recomanar-ho a familiars i amics que vulguin anar-hi. Per anar a Chamonix hi anavem en cotxe particular ( hi ha uns 5 o 6 km) tot i que si pot anar en transport public de forma gratuïta amb un document que s aconsegueix a informació i turisme .

Very nice apartment, which could do even better with some additional kitchen stuff
Everything is extremely well organized, and the furniture is indeed of good taste. We (a couple and two small children) felt very comfortable. The mattresses are good and 190 cm long. The DVD collection is impressive, and our children were happy with the Lego toys. There is a long solid steel bar installed in the main bathroom to suspend ski suits in front of the powerful heating. Thank you for the bottle of wine, which was indeed of good taste. The kitchen is very useful. We suggest nevertheless some improvements: - The anti-adhesive layer of one or two casseroles is detaching and may mix with the food. Please consider if the replacement of them would make sense. - The sharp knives are not very useful, they are difficult to use and may even prove dangerous. Perhaps they could be replaced? - There are very few small spoons left. Maybe you could buy some new ones? - A toaster would be a great pleasure!

Perfect
The owners have really thought about everything one needs. The apartment was clean and well laid out. The position was great for access to The Bellevue cable car and to have a restaurant as good as Le Basilic nearby is a real bonus. Paula was very responsive to any questions we asked. All in all, a really good experience. Thanks Paula.

Excellent location
The apartment is perfectly located less than 5 minutes walk from the Bellevue lifts and 10 minutes walk to the Prarion lifts. The local bus, free with lift pass, stops outside to connect with all other ski areas in the Chamonix valley or to just go to Chamonix town for shopping or a meal in the afternoon or evening. The apartment has a well equipped kitchen and plenty of DVD's, books and games to choose from. There is also a smart TV with Netflix. Both bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable, there was plenty of hot water available for showers and a bath. The owner was extremely helpful during booking and with extra information when asked. The arrival information is comprehensive and accurate. Whilst we didn't use it, underground parking is available and also a ski locker. We wouldn't hesitate using the apartment again or recommending it to friends.

Great apartment for family.
We spent six nights in this apartment between 12/31 and 1/6. There were four adults and two six-year old children in our group. With three beds and a fold out, it was a little tight, but we made it work just fine. The apartment was very clean, we had all the amenities that we needed, and the owners were very responsive to our questions throughout the whole process. We skied at two nearby resorts in the Chamonix valley, had plenty of room in the apartment for all ski clothing, and the gear either stayed in the cars or in the locker downstairs. It was very nice to have a locked garage for our car to keep it secure and dry. The quick 5 minute walk to the bakery every morning was very convenient for breakfast croissants and other fresh and delicious pastries. We watched several movies with the kids that were provided in the apartment and even had Raclette one night with the provided equipment. There was plenty of warm water for our group and the washing machine was used more than once. All in all, a fantastic stay in a great location for a week of vacation in the Chamonix valley. We hope to return some day in the summer to enjoy the warm weather on the back porch! We would definitely recommend this apartment to our friends.

About the host

Hosted by Simon and Paula

Host profile image
We have always loved the variety of skiing available in Chamonix and have challenged ourselves with Valley Blanche on more than one visit. Our children are keen snowboarders and feel that the situation of the property will offer us skiing in the winter and mountain biking and walking in the summer.

Why they chose this property

Short downhill walk to Bellevue lift in the morning. When returning to the Apartment, you can exit the Kandahar run from the bridge to the road where again there is a short walk downhill to the Apartment. Close to Ski bus, excellent bakery, deli, bar, coffee shop and restaurants. In the summer there is a south facing garden for sunbathing/relaxing.

What makes this property unique

Les Houches has its own train station, which is 15 minutes walk from the apartment.When the Station Ticket Office is not open, you can buy your ticket on the train.You can access the ski areas of StGervais and Megeve. The Train will also take you to Sallanches and from here you can access Paris,Lyon and Geneve. In the other direction, you can access Chamonix and Le Tour.
